Teachers self-efficacy beliefs for teaching reading in English second language at Namibian rural schools / Pontianus Musenge KamunimaKamunima, Pontianus Musenge January 2014 (has links)
Teacher self-efficacy beliefs (TSE) are an important attribute of effective teachers. Teacher
efficacy refers to a teacher‘s belief in his or her abilities to bring about valued outcomes of
engagement and learning among learners, including difficult or unmotivated learners. English
Second Language (ESL) reading seems to be a substantial problem in Namibia. This
research aimed to explore rural Namibian grade 4-6 teachers‘ self-efficacy beliefs regarding
the teaching of ESL reading. The research was based on Bandura (1997)‘s well-known four
sources of self-efficacy, and the Linnenbrink and Pintrich (2003) engagements to focus on
aspects which influence teachers‘ TSE with regard to teaching reading. The researcher
formed assumptions from the epistemological premises and followed an interpretive approach.
A non-probability sampling method was used to select the eight teachers within the
four schools of the nearby circuit. The data were collected qualitatively by means of in-depth
interviews in order to gather data from teachers‘ individual experiences about intermediate
learners‘ low reading skills and teaching reading. Data were analysed and interpreted using
Atlas.ti ™. The purpose of this research was to identify issues regarding rural Namibian
teachers‘ self-efficacy beliefs that relate to teaching English Second Language (ESL) reading.
The rationale for this study was to identify gaps related to teachers‘ SEBs and to make
suggestions to improve teachers SEB‘s. The researcher identified a fifth source, the school
environment, as another source that influences teachers‘ SEBs regarding teaching reading.
Since the school environment is an additional source of self-efficacy the researcher recommend
further research that can establish evidence on how school environment influences
SEBs with regard to reading achievements. / MEd (Curriculum Development), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014
